I had a dream The habitable earth	A
Its continents and islands all were bare	B
Of cities and of forests Naught remained	C
Of its old aspect and I only knew	D
As men know things in dreams unknowing how	E
That this was earth and that all men were dead	F
On every side I saw the barren land	G
Even to the distant sky's inclosing blue	D
Thick pitted all with graves and all the graves	H
Save one were open not as newly dug	I
But rather as by some internal force	J
Riven for egress Tombs of stone were split	K
And wide agape and in their iron decay	L
The massive mausoleums stood in halves	M
With mildewed linen all the ground was white	N
Discarded shrouds upon memorial stones	O
Hung without motion in the soulless air	B
While greatly marveling how this should be	P
I heard or fancied that I heard a voice	Q
Low like an angel's delicately strong	R
And sweet as music	S
	-
'Spirit ' it said 'behold	N
The burial place of universal Man	T
A million years have rolled away since here	U
His sheeted multitudes save only some	V
Whose dark misdeeds required a separate	N
And individual arraignment rose	W
To judgment at the trumpet's summoning	X
And passed into the sky for their award	N
Leaving behind these perishable things	Y
Which yet preserved by miracle endure	Z
Till all are up Then they and all of earth	A
Rock hearted mountain and storm breasted sea	P
River and wilderness and sites of dead	N
And vanished capitals of men shall spring	X
To flame and naught shall be for evermore	A2
When all are risen that wonder will occur	B2
'Twas but ten centuries ago the last	N
But one came forth a soul so black with sin	C2
Against whose name so many crimes were set	N
That only now his trial is at end	N
But one remains '	-
	-
Straight as the voice was stilled	N
That single rounded mound cracked lengthliwise	P
And one came forth in grave clothes For a space	P
He stood and gazed about him with a smile	D2
Superior then laying off his shroud	N
Disclosed his two attenuated legs	P
Which like parentheses bent outwardly	P
As by the weight of saintliness above	E2
And so sprang upward and was lost to view	D
Noting his headstone overthrown I read	N
'Sacred to memory of George K Fitch	F2
Deacon and Editor a holy man	T
Who fell asleep in Jesus full of years	P
And blessedness The dead in Christ rise first '	-
